CM Shinde said these things to the reporters while participating in the ‘live streaming’ of the annual dialogue program ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ with the examinees of Prime Minister Modi. This program addressed by Prime Minister Modi was attended by Shinde at a municipality school located in Kisan Nagar of the city. I saw where he once studied. He said that he is proud of himself for being an educated student of the municipal school.

Shinde gave a direct answer to a question related to a recent survey conducted by a media accident regarding the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would break all records in the upcoming general elections and the NDA would retain power with a thumping majority.

Shinde said that the survey conducted among a handful of people does not present the correct picture. He ignored the results of the recently concluded gram panchayat elections in which the Balasahebchi Shiv Sena (the faction led by Shinde) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) did exceptionally well.

He said that in politics ‘two money two’ is not always four. Shiv Sena (UBT) President and former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday accused Shinde and 39 other MLAs of bringing down the Mahavikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra, alleging that Shiv Sena and Maharashtra were brought into disrepute by cheating and manipulation.
